Munich, Germany

I am a PhD candidate at the USM in Munich, working with cosmological MHD simulations. My main interest lies in non-thermal processes in galaxy clusters: Cosmic Rays, Magnetic Fields and Turbulence.

I develop the Cosmic Ray model CRESCENDO for the cosmological Tree-SPH Code OpenGadget3.

Most of the time I run and analyze my own simulations for which I developed a number of open source Software tools.

I am also part of the Localization project where we study the local universe with state-of-the-art constrained initial conditions.

Aside from science I am an avid hiker. Luckily the alps are nearby!

Before I went into Astrophysics I was a hobby musician, playing mainly progressive rock (you can listen to one album on Spotify!)
